1952 Topps 6th Series - Were They Really Dumped in the Ocean
The baseball season was well under way and Sy Berger and other Topps execs were debating about whether to issue a 6th and final series in their 1952 baseball Topps set. Sy Berger stated in interviews they debated about issuing the last "set" (Sy called the 6th series a "set") due to timing of the release. The final series of 97 cards came out later than anticipated at the close of the baseball season with many cards not reaching stores until well after the World Series had ended. The 6th series cards did not sell well.
Sy Berger, always the salesman, claimed that Topps was running out of warehouse space and the remaining inventory was dumped in the ocean off of a barge in the 1960's. Is that really what occurred? Let's hear your thoughts.
